====Staffing update====
Key Admin advised that the $8000 in funding provided 22 days of additional staff time between 4 April and the end of the financial year. This has enabled staff members to increase hours from 4 April to focus on the Evaluation and Stakeholder Analysis. A productive meeting with WMAU staff and WMF staff Rebecca Maung (Manager, DE&L, Community Growth) and Jacqueline Chen was held on 4 April to commence this work.
